With school back in full swing, we’re here to equip you with the tools you need to support your students and make your job easier. This month, we’re excited to help you make the most of your Amplify Science curriculum with our new Up Your Amplify Game training collection. Spend just 5–10 minutes there each week to get a short overview of Science features, or dive a little deeper with one or two related help elements. You’ll find the collection featured on the Science page of start.amplify.com, and we’ll add something new each week to help you up your Amplify game.

Did you enjoy our recent training webinar series Back to Basics: Getting started with Amplify Science? These hour-long events were a hit with attendees, and the replays are now available on start.amplify.com/bonus! Whether you missed a session, want to share with a colleague, or just want to relive the learning, these sessions will help you make the most of the program. You can also download a checklist of activities covered in each session to help you implement Amplify Science in your classroom.

No matter what your classroom situation looks like this fall, we’ll help you stay on track with the Remote and Hybrid Learning Support feature on the Science page of start.amplify. Designed with you in mind, this site will be continually updated to equip you with the tools you need to excel in an ever-changing education environment.


Calling all instructional leaders!

We have a few spots still available in the upcoming Professional Learning Providers Academy for Amplify Science that begins January 20. Facilitated by the Lawrence Hall of Science and Making Sense of SCIENCE from WestEd, this Academy is designed to support curriculum coordinators and district science coaches as they improve and invigorate the professional learning they lead. If you are an instructional leader in a district that has been using Amplify Science for a year or more, we encourage you to find out more and register by December 17!

Exciting updates are coming to Amplify's K–5 Interactive Classroom experience in November!

Student improvements include a new home page and audio, image, and pre-placed text box response options for digital worksheets. Teachers will be able to assign lessons directly within Amplify, navigate a streamlined curriculum platform, and access new pacing controls. Learn more about the paid early adopter experience.
